[00:06.18] I had a friend named Bill Campbell he used to rob steal and gamble
[00:11.18] And on the side he'd beg so he mopped up
[00:13.67] I told him he shouldn't do it and Campbell told me he knew it
[00:21.49] So he started beggin' with a bucket instead of a cup
[00:26.06] He's in the jailhouse now (he's in the jailhouse now)
[00:28.63] He's in the jailhouse now (he's in the jailhouse now)
[00:31.13] Well Campbell fluffed his dove when he wore a tuxedo to the country club
[00:37.81] He's in the jailhouse now (he's in the jailhouse now)
[00:42.24] I met his old gal Sadie she said have you seen Billy lately
[01:08.32] I said I don't believe that he's about
[01:12.63] She went down to the jail she went down to take him his mail
[01:17.06] Then she whispered sheriff please don't let him out
[01:18.99] He's in the jailhouse now (he's in the jailhouse now)
[01:19.31] He's in the jailhouse now (he's in the jailhouse now)
[01:19.62] While Campbell's put away Sadie's with the sheriff everyday
[01:26.60] He's in the jailhouse now (he's in the jailhouse now)
[01:33.16] Well I remember the last election the prohibitionists were in action
[01:48.48] They's tryin' to elect themselves a president
[01:53.72] Bill Canpbell and John Austin walked from New Orleans to Boston
[01:58.90] And they've got a bottle in every settlement
[02:03.57] They're in the jailhouse now (he's in the jailhouse now)
[02:06.45] They're in the jailhouse now (he's in the jailhouse now)
[02:09.70] They were down at the railroad track stealin' a train to haul it back
[02:13.31] They're in the jailhouse now (he's in the jailhouse now)
